their respective sides of the question.
Henry G. Davis comes to Camden's
rescue, and Lucas demolishes him
with one stroke of his pen. Now
it's Camden's turn to fall on Lucas
and make the harmony circuit COM
plete. Here and there in the State
the Democratic politicians make a
show of coming to the rescue, but
the support of the masses of the
people is wanting. They have paid
enough money for party string band
music already. They want work and
something to show for that which
they are so heavily taxed to support.
The representative of any party
who wishes to make record with
the people must work and vote to
transact the most important public
business and then adjourn.

IMPROVEMENTS /!


provements have been made in
Martinsburg of late, and more are
now under way. Could we spare
the time, it would give us pleasure
to obtain and publish the exact
figures, but as it is we have to be
satisfied with a short review from
memory. Builders and contractors
shoald take interest enough in town
improvement to furnish the papers
with the extent and cost of their
work, to keep the fact of the towns
improvement before the public.
The new NJ. e. Church and the
&. Grammar School are about the most
important late additions in this line,
and involve an expenditure of from
$4,000 to $4,000. The fine resi-.
dences of DR.. McSherry, DR.. Snod
grass and Mr.. Fiery cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000. Mr.. j. B.
Wilson's block in the square pays
well in the appearance of that locali-
ty. Messrs. Emmert & Fiery are
putting up a building adjoining the
Market House that will cost $4,000
or more. The new building on the
site of the old Adams Express
Company's Office is decided i'm.
provement to that section. In the
West End of town, Eastward to the
Cumberland Valley, there are sever
al fine new residences, and if the @.
V. extension goes on it will bring
that portion of the city out more
prominently. Messrs. A. Quenzel,
A. Kogleschatz, FL. N. Deatrich, and
others, are improving West Martin
Street. Strinesville and the High
Street portion of the town are com
ing out In the improvement question,
some signs of which are to be seen
in nearly every part of the town,
and still more in contemplation.
Judge G. j. Faulkner's new resi-.
dence is one of the most attractive
and complete dwellings erected of
late. Messrs. Bender, Nlcklas, and
others whom we do not recall, have
built themselves comfortable homes.
The town is also extending in other
directions,-new lights, gas and
water mains spreading out every.
where.
If manufacturing industries would
grow apace with individual i'm
provements, Martinsburg would
have a real j." boomn on its hands.
However, all things take time, and
something may yet push US to the
front in laboremploying enterprises.
The most discouraging feature is
that we can't get a dozen or more
projects going at the same time, in.
stead Of only one at time; where
much is projected something is sure
to result. If this fails that succeeds.
An Emigration and Improvement
organization composed of pushihg
men should be able to plan some
permanent course of action. A
public park company would excite
attention; and if there would be
public spirit enough in any part OF
the town to do something towards
its location, that part of the town
would extend itself as a resident
portion. We are sure the B. & o.
would turn a hand to secure homes
for its employees, ifa start were made
in the right direction. If all hands
in town would take hold of the wheel
with a will, the Martinsburg enter.
